I'm not sure I understand why you are calling v6-only network 'broken one'? I've been sitting in v6-only network at RIPE meetings since that SSID was introduced. I'm in Japan now and so far I did not have to connect to dual-stack SSID - v6-only works just fine. What exactly (besides a few applications) is broken here? > (Can't wait for a request for Atlas to support NAT64, that's going to be > interesting) RIPE Atlas probe is a host. It should not care much if it's traffic is going via NAT64 box or not. -- SY, Jen Linkova aka Furry
